Nice seeing you Nick! I had a blast and cant wait to make the next one. Your car looked great out there!

nichigo

Thanks man. Yours looks spotless as usual haha.

How were your guys times on the final course?

Carbon Blue

I'm sure not as fast as you, my last run was my fastest at a 51.6xx I botched the first slalom and apexed too early on the last turn...how about you? After riding in a few cars with rs3's iam convinced I need to step my tire game up.

That last turn is just ridiculous. Every instructor I rode with said that it was nasty...I think I only rode with one instructor that actually pulled it off perfectly.

That first slalom is actually pretty crazy too...mostly because even if you look ahead, things look really messy with the 3 gates leading up to that slalom followed by the slower entry point into the 2nd half. I came in way too hot the first time. 2nd time i think I nailed it...3rd time I got too ambitious and overshot it a little.

My times ended up being:

1st: 51.6xx
2nd: 48.4xx
3rd: 48.6xx

RS3's are amazing. I was actually struggling most of the day getting used to running without them. I had RS3's on my last outing. This time I'm a couple notches down with RE760's. Had to get used to the decreased lateral grip...but the RE760's weren't nearly as bad as I thought they would be. They were very predictable...moreso than the RS3's imo.

I plan on hitting up a few practices in the near future with some of my friends. I'll hit you up and see if youre interested in coming out when we do

Carbon Blue

Nice times man! Definitely let me know when your out again, I was on continental dw tires and they handled just fine but definitely didn't have the lateral grip that the star spec/rs3's had. On the way back north to escondido I hit a NASTY downpour and at that point I was glad I had the continentals haha these things are amazing in the rain... I even saw a black is300 with bbs' s spin out on the mira mesa blvd on ramp to the 15N and hit a light pole.
